I'm an internet junkie that is obsessed with books. I own more than I will ever read in this lifetime and yet I'm still compelledto buy more. I read mostly romance (mild to completely smutty), YA and urban fantasy.

This book was so adorable. Alek and Ethan are quite cute together. This read was a bit fluffier than I thought it would be. I enjoyed it, but I do think it lacked a little bit of depth.

The author did a nice job of incorporating some Armenian culture into the book. I found it quite interesting as I don't believe I've ever read about a main character that is Armenian.

Family dynamics were explored as Alek learns to see his parents and brother in a new light and they also have to learn to see Alek differently as well. Especially when they realize he isn't quite the person they thought he was.

I thought it was interesting that the fact that Alek is gay is not the main source of conflict in the book. I think I was expecting a typical coming out story with strife and disapproving parents and I'm quite glad the author decided to go a different way with it. The complete absence of strife over Alek's realization that he's gay may come off as a tad unrealistic, but it was a nice change of pace so I can't fault the book for it.

Overall, a sweet story about a boy growing up and falling in love. This would make a great beach read.
